vAIRo, I'LL, Dec. 23.-Fire at Q o'clodk
this morning destroyed the Mississippi Val
ley Transportation steamer r. g. Hayes

bank. The fire is supposed 70 have crigi-

burning her to the waters edge. The fire
spread to the City Of Matches, lying
just below the Hayes, and in .
few moments she too was .
mass Of flames. The barges
along side the Hayes, loaded with cotton,
soda ash and sundries, also took hre and
were completely destroyed. Nothing but
the wrecks of the burned hulls remain.

vile three years ago and was valued al
100000. She was one Of the finest boats on
the Mississippi. The Hayes was built BY
the Valley Company about Ave years ago
and valued at about $4,000.
The loss Of the Valley barges
and contents will make the total
loss reach about 81 900, 900. The insurance
is heavy, but it is not known at the present
time. A strong northwest wind st the
time of the fire held the boats into the bank
and prevented tugs from saving the feet.
Two bsrges lying on the outside Of
those burned were cut loose and towed to
safe harbor by tugs. The wrecked burn.
ing hulls are being towed to the other side
Of the river and beached.

RocKAwAY BEACH, L. l., Jan. 2-Great
fears are entertained here for the safety Of
Ave unknown men who are out in open
boats, hemmed in by ice in the middle
Of Jamaica Bay. It Ii almost an Inn
possibility for them to survive the
exposure much longer, and, unless
extricated very soon, they will be frozen
to death. Three Of the men, who were
evidently on Q duck-shooting expedition,
boarded 0 train for Rockaway Beach at
the AQueduct station, whore they hired .
boat at the dock and rowed out halfway
across the bay toward Rifie Bar, when the
tide began to run out, causing large guam
titles Of ice to surround them and prevent
their making any headway The men, as
we'll as could be seen from the shore, made
great efforts TO get out Of their unfortunate
predicament, but up to 40 o'clock this
evening they had made but little he adway,
and were being carried toward the inlet
by the tide. They have already been out
four hours. The other two men are sup
posed to be from restaurant which is
situated on an island about q mile from the
seaside dock, endeavored to reach the
beach In Q small row-boat, but they also
got caught in the ice about O'Clock
this afternoon, and are still unable to reach
land. II is feared that the two men will
succumb to the terrible cold to which they
are exposed. The men at the Seaside land
ing and other points adjacent to that por-
tion Of the bay have used every effort to
aid the unfortunate men, but the large
quantity Of ice floating inshore makes II
impossible to take boat through 1t.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.--It Is stated that con-
vincing proofs Of Haight's completely in

longer doubt that Haight was the in
stigator Of the crime, and Weaver and
wittrock were his partners. It was
Haight, it is said, who conceived the idea
Of writing to ]. B. Barrett, the route
agent, in order to get copy Of that
gentleman's letter heads. Haight also
had the bogus business cards
with the name Of w. H. DAM
sell, Superintendent, on them. The Pink
ertons have learned that the plotters tried
to have these letter heads and cards printed
in st. Louis, but they were either afraid to
or could not do 80, and they had the work
done in this city by firm that has admit
ted it to the detectives, and told still fur
ther that Haight was the man who gave
the order. It was on these letter heads
and cards that the orders were written and
used as q means to get Wittrock on board
